“Tired of being tired.”
Chronic fatigue is often the primary reason patients land in Optimal Bio Medical Director Dr. Greg Brannon’s Charleston office, which isn’t surprising, seeing as more than a third of Americans report getting less than seven hours of sleep in 24 hours, according to this January 2024 study. March is National Sleep Awareness Month, and Dr. Brannon is dedicated to improving the mental and physical health of his patients and the community, ensuring their rest is truly restorative and understanding the role hormones play in it. On March 12, Dr. Brannon will release his newest book, Restore, on Amazon and wherever books are sold, aimed at equipping readers with the knowledge necessary to improve their sleep and regain control of their health.
“A lack of sleep can cause hormone imbalance,” shares Brannon in “Restore.” “Our bodies were designed to get consistent, quality sleep. When you don't sleep well, it throws off your body, resulting in a decrease in testosterone… Sleep impacts your hormones, and hormone levels impact sleep.” As outlined in another recent study from the CDC, inadequate sleep leads to 2.5 times increased odds of frequent mental distress, along with a host of other health issues, further illustrating the importance of quality sleep for one’s overall well-being.
Dr. Brannon has found hormones to be the biggest difference maker in health, and Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) as the most beneficial treatment to counter and prevent medical issues like lack of sleep and fatigue. Using all-natural hormones that are identical to those made by your body, BHRT helps ease the degenerative side effects of aging and other medical issues, like brain fog, anxiety, depression, diabetes, headaches, osteoporosis and more. Since founding Optimal Bio in 2012, Dr. Brannon has changed the lives of thousands of patients and educated millions on the importance of hormone health. He is thrilled to have the opportunity to share his expertise with even more people through “Restore.”
